About
As a professional photographer, most of us produce quality images, but what makes me unique is my ability to connect with my clients and create a fun and relaxed environment.
I think it is important to pick a photographer who enjoys the art of photography and is not in it just to make a dollar. With over 15 years of experience I can offer my clients the experience and product they are looking for in any situation.

I had a wonderful experience with Jonathan Michaels Photography. He was punctual, professional, and an absolute joy to work with throughout the event. The quality of the photos is pristine, and he captured so many special moments beautifully. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would gladly work with him again in the future. Highly recommend!
Jonathan was extremely responsive and easy to work with throughout the process. The quality of the photos was excellent!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am very competitive in my rates. As I have said above, I shoot for the love of working with people and creating beautiful pictures. My pricing is modeled based on what I think is fair for both my customers and other photographers in the market who are trying to make a living and lose business from low ball photographers.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Getting to know them at a much more personal level then just exchanging information. It’s important to see what the customer is looking to accomplish through their perspective not mine.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taken a number of courses in post editing software.
